Comments made about Dirt bike, Road and Trail bike seats for extra comfort

Dirt, Road, and Trail motorbike seats can be more comfortable

Wider seats play a big part in making a seat more comfortable and a little softer can helps as well

I promised you I would give a full road test review to you after I’d put a few hundred k’s on the new seat. Well I had that chance on the weekend. Here’s what I found:

The overall experience was a positive one! Upon getting it back from you in the post it immediately appeared wider and a little softer but not as soft as I had envisioned it would be. Having remembered you said if it was too soft it may sag I felt OK about it. It certainly looks the part with good attention to detail and workmanship. The vinyl used seems a good choice as it is not to slippery or grippy – a very good compromise with a quality feel.

I’ve ridden on it twice now with the last one being a 200K ride from Sydney to Wollembi. The standard seat was giving me a ‘tailbone’ ache after just 30 minutes or so. The standard seat was very hard and narrow. The new softness of your new seat was apparent upon first sitting on it but even more so after a while in the saddle. However, I feel the biggest improvement has been the extra width over the original design. It very effectively spreads the load across now and I do not have anymore ‘tailbone’ ache at all. I can’t believe I nearly spent $1,200 (in total with shipping!) to get a Corbin seat from the US when the solution was here in my own back yard for a fraction of that price!

What you have done with a sculpted few pieces of different density foam on top of the original seat base is amazing Peter. I certainly won’t have any problem recommending you to my friends and other riders and would be happy for you to show this email as a recommendation to any future clients of yours. God knows why Suzuki couldn’t replicate this as standard equipment and save us all the trouble?!

Many thanks again Peter, for transforming my riding experience and enjoyment of my DR650.

Best regards, Brian (West Pennant Hills, NSW)

Peter,

Just a quick note regarding the seat on my BMW G 650 X Moto that you have just remodelled.

Who said that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. I was very pleased with the outcome that you were able to achieve. The revamped seat looks better than the original, yet it is impossible to mark it as an aftermarket seat. It just looks so natural. I took the bike out for a longer run on the weekend & the comfort level on my posterior has been substantially enhanced. The stock seat was a “dog” & you have been able to provide me with something that makes the longer journeys far more enjoyable.

Once again many thanks for your fine efforts. I’m more than happy to recommend your work to all my bike riding mates.

Dirt Riding Techniques

Most dirt bikes with narrow seats can be made a little moor comfortable.
Some are very hard and narrow creating soreness in a very short time in the
saddle.
Dirt and Road trail bikes may benefit from the seat being made wider and in
some cases also softer releasing pressure on the cheeks and coccyx.
Most people think they need to buy a new seat from overseas to have success
rectifying the problems.
That isn't always so. A short phone call to discuss the seat and problems may
find that we may have an answer for you .
We don't make seats but if you supply us with your seat or a replacement seat.
We will work on that to make it more comfortable. Seats being made wider seem
a reasonable choice for improved comfort.
This option may not work for everyone but is worth a phone call.

Something to think about when surfing the net for a replacement seat.

Motor scooters and Motorcycles are a fun way of getting around these days for so little cost to purchase and easy on the pocket to run. One can see the reason why they are so popular these days.
Most models of motor scooters seem to have a very wide seat. This can be a little uncomfortable for short riders especially when stopping at intersections or at lights.
If you tend to bee on your toes when stopped at any time, then you may need the seat looked at to rectify the problem.
Riding a motor scooter or Motorbike is about having fun going wherever you want safely and with confidence.
Knowing the scooter or motorbike is stable when it needs to be, that makes all the difference.

Motorscooter seats can look very smart and have a very unique look about them. Especially with a little thought and play with different colours and textures.
Your input and Choices you make in the custom seat cover design, could enhance the look of the scooter and give you a great sense of satisfaction.

You could be in for a pleasant surprise.

Motorcycle seats can be very uncomfortable, seat alterations or custom motorcycle seats have helped many riders. We alter seats and saddles when appropriate to suite individual riders. This is done by seat foam reshaping. In some cases it may also be achieved by foam replacement if required for a comfortable motorcycle seat. Gel pads can also be used in some seats.
Some textured vinyl we use in recovering seats reduce passenger and rider from slipping forward. This is because seats get older and they can become slippery.
We have a fine textured no slip vinyl to reduce the amount of slip. Mostly popular on Road bikes, Sport bikes, Motocross, Enduro seats, We have a heavier duty vinyl called Gripper with excellent Gripping qualities. Many other textures and colours if required for that custom look.
We also lower seats for the rider that may be a little short in the leg. Most can be done for a very reasonable price without the need to purchase a New seat or cover.
